About us
The Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health encompasses multi-disciplinary research across the full spectrum of women’s health. Our work has four overarching themes; Cancer, Global Health, Maternal & Fetal Health and Reproductive Medicine & Genetics. Our clinical and laboratory-based research programmes are based in the Women’s Centre, the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (both at the John Radcliffe Hospital) and the Institute of Reproductive Sciences (IRS), Oxford Business Park. We have extensive collaborations with a number of University Science Departments and other research groups in the UK and abroad. The department's main offices are on level 3 of the Women’s Centre (John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford) which is responsible for the care of over 7,000 pregnant women and over 7,500 new gynaecology patients per year. The hospital is a tertiary referral centre for obstetric medicine, pre-natal diagnosis, endometriosis, reproductive medicine, IVF, urogynaecology and gynaecological oncology. In addition to undertaking worldwide acclaimed research, we also teach students and provide clinical care for Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. In 2008 we established the MSc Course in Clinical Embryology, a world-class course that has won numerous University awards for teaching innovation and excellence. We supervise research students (MSc by research and D.Phil) and teach clinical undergraduate students as part of their medical degree. (Photo credit: Shutterstock)

A non-invasive test for early-stage endometriosis could be a game changer. Well done to everyone involved in this exciting project. #endometriosis #womeninpain #womeninscience Serac Healthcare Tatjana Gibbons Krina Zondervan
Dr Tatjana Gibbons, an investigator on the study from the Nuffield Dept of Women's & Reproductive Health, University of Oxford gave a Top Rated Oral Presentation on our DETECT endometriosis imaging study at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) annual congress earlier this week. The presentation at EANM added to the initial findings as previously presented at two women’s health congresses earlier in the year, indicating that 99mTc-maraciclatide has potential as a non-invasive test for early-stage endometriosis. The presentation at EANM gave the Oxford University team the opportunity to discuss the potential of our molecular imaging agent with this important nuclear medicine audience. #endometriosis #womenshealth #molecularimaging #diagnosticimaging #medicalimaging #precisionmedicine #nuclearmedicine #EANM24 Hermes Medical Solutions Spectrum Dynamics Medical

The RoADPain study is looking at whether teens with period pain may be more likely to suffer with chronic pain later in life. Following on from the recent news stories that some schools don't consider menstrual pains as being a sufficient reason for pupils to miss lessons (now rescinded), BBC News spoke to Professor Katy Vincent and Dr Lydia Coxon about their research. BBC News - 'World-first' study examines period pain in teens https://lnkd.in/eaBz-FXC

The RoADPain study and the important issue of period pain (especially in teenagers) will be featured on the BBC today. Tune in to BBC Radio Oxford at around 7:20 AM to catch an interview with Lydia Coxon who will discuss the study and its significance. Additionally, the local news TV segment on BBC One is expected to air around 6 o’clock, showcasing an interview with Prof. Katy Vincent. Lydia will also be featured alongside a teenager discussing their experience with period pain and demonstrating sensory testing. We are hoping to raise awareness about the challenges of period pain and recruit participants for the study. Please visit our website more information about the RoADPain Study. https://lnkd.in/ee2QxNn9

Millions of women from low-resource areas die from heart disease, stokes and diabetes. Our SMARThealth research group recognises the importance of pregnancy as an optimum time to identify and manage risk factors for both mothers and babies. During antenatal care, local healthcare workers can check whether women in rural settings have health conditions such as anaemia, diabetes or high blood pressure. https://lnkd.in/epFQqQUN #HealthEquity #globalhealth #womenshealth #RuralIndia

Exciting advancements from the Oxplus team, led by Prof. Sally Collins. They are harnessing the power of machine learning to enable real-time identification of placental health. This innovative technology aims to quickly detect conditions such as Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR), potentially reducing the risk of birth complications.
